If you’re in Leeds on the 15th of October, come to my inaugural lecture on “Facing Accelerating Climate Change Threat - Exploring Future Trajectories, Surveying the Past and the Present” www.tickettailor.com/events/fssev...

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Silence sustains the status quo. We chose courage. Our essay, Adverse Climate, uses IPCC AR6 as a case study to expose exclusion of GS & POC in global science — and propose change. Republished today on EarthArXiv. 📄 Read here: doi.org/10.31223/X5W... #ClimateJustice #IPCC #DEI

Looking forward to a 4th term an IPCC Lead Author! I've dotted around a bit over the years: AR4 - WG1 Radiative Forcing (focussing on land use) AR5 - WG2 Terrestrial Ecosystems AR6 - WG2 Water AR7 - WG1 Global Projections Always fantastic to work with international colleagues and learn from them

News Corp machine in overdrive, trying to diminish the National Climate Risk Assessment

Europe’s summer of extreme weather caused €43bn loss. Damage from heat, drought, flooding, crop failures will accelerate. Climate change is global. No country can escape. Trump/Farage deny the obvious and dance to the tunes of fossil fuel companies.

Our new paper, “Adverse Climate,” reveals how systemic barriers limit Global South, POC, & women’s voices in #IPCC AR6. As a Global South woman of color & AR7 CLA, I’m proud to lead this call for #ClimateEquity. Read it: doi.org/10.31223/X59... FAQs in comment 👇🏽 #DEIinScience #ClimateJustice

As Chair, here is our cross-party joint statement from the Parliamentary Black Caucus, regarding the rising threat of racism and violence from the far-right.👇🏾

Free speech is not hate speech. We cannot allow hate-mongers to define who we are as a nation. Now more than ever, we must stand united against intimidation, violence, division, and fear.

The type of speech most punished in this society is that which consists of telling the truth about how the powerful have harmed you

At @leadstories.com we've been debunking a stream of these. Seems like a network operating out of Vietnam churning out dozens of versions of the same stories using the same AI prompts but with different celebrities and locations inserted.

“In modern warfare between 43% and 63% of casualties are innocent people. In Palestine it’s 83% - 89%” This is obviously a genocide. Those supporting it know this very well. It must be stopped. @declassifieduk.org

“particles spewed by Canadian wildfires killed 82,000 people in 2023, according to a study published in Nature on Wednesday. The long tendrils of smoke choked towns not just in Canada and the US, but also across the Atlantic. The pollution was responsible for 22,000 early deaths in Europe alone.”

The recent US Department of Energy climate "report" is described here as "controversial" @andrewdessler.com described it as "an indefensible steaming pile of crap"

This is why banging on about lowering immigration isn’t a vote winner, the fluctuation of asylum seekers entering the UK each month makes no perceivable difference to the majority of people’s lives. Bringing down household bills and sorting out the shit in the sea situation would be far more popular

Will the absence of public transport infrastructure in North America mark the moment its citizens notice how far their continent has fallen behind?

The problem remains that Starmer, Rayner etc are held to greater account because they ascribe to standards and norms, whereas the Farage, Johnson, Trump are let off scrutiny because nobody expects them to be upstanding in office

Nobody who voted to confirm RFK is fit to hold public office

Remember that 52 Republican Senators voted to confirm RFK Jr. All the people who are going to die because of his idiocy is on them. www.senate.gov/legislative/...

We must tackle inequality. Your bills are not high because of migrants. The NHS is not crumbling because of migrants. It's because of politicians who only serve the super rich. 👇🏼 youtu.be/RhD2ZuKrXPg?...

This would unambiguously and undeniably kill children in Florida. "Florida to end vaccine mandates for children" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A 0.7°C cooling at best from all geological carbon storage. So could 2.2°C be seen as the maximum allowed overshoot temperature ? 🤓

In the richest country in the world people are baking to death at home. Richard Chamblee died in Arizona two days after the central AC broke and the family couldn’t afford to repair it. His core temp was 108F/42C. He was just 52 years old. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

That moment when opportunist opposition politics runs up against the real world...

A man and woman have been arrested after NHS nurse Apple Moorhouse was attacked in Halifax park. The couple asked if she “came here on a rubber boat” before performing Nazi salutes and assaulting her. Both remain in custody. #Halifax

📢 Just had the most amazing experience communicating heat and compound hazards impacts on BBC breakfast. Thank you to @richardabetts.bsky.social for suggesting me and everyone at the BBC who were so lovely! #scicomm #scisky

I helped write the responses to the DOE CWG report Chapter 9 (on Agriculture) and section 2.1 (on CO2 fertilization and greening). Several times I thought we should just use this post from @drkatemarvel.bsky.social as the whole response. bsky.app/profile/drka...

SCOOP: Revolution Wind employed 80 fishermen over the past 2 years, paying out $9.5 million to captains, deckhands, and fishing boat owners. Trump's pause means he just put Trump-voting fishermen out of work. When Trump paused Empire Wind, the fishermen stayed quiet. This time, they spoke to me.👇

Waiting for that tipping point when most sensible people realise that transporting a single 80kg person in 2.5 tonnes of SUV was not the height of technical advancement but peak stupidity for the human race. Tax SUVs out of existence

hi bluesky~ my name is tess, and i'm a climate scientist studying drought, fire, and climate variability and change! i recently defended my PhD on the climate dynamics that drive forest fire in the Western US at @lamont.columbia.edu and started as an NPP fellow at NASA GISS. excited to be here ❤

Provisional statistics from the Met Office show that summer 2025 will ‘almost certainly’ be the warmest summer on record for the UK It would move 2018 off the top spot and relegate 1976 out of the top five warmest summer in a series which dates back to 1884 www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

It's really fucked up the news media at large is searching so hard for humanity in machines, while systematically denying humanity to Palestinians, trans people, immigrants, and other persecuted people

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

One of the most damaging consequences of Brexit is the loss of freedom of movement. UK citizens could previously study and work in Europe indefinitely, visa-free. The mobility of UK citizens in the EU is now restricted.

I've been to 4 festivals this summer. Many of the bands were saying "Free Palestine" (not just the ones who were in the news at Glastonbury) and there's pretty much always Palestinian flags in the audience I'm guessing a lot of people won't choose Victorious next year www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Excellent commentary on the role electric bikes can play in reducing the need for personal vehicles. But also talks about how crummy and overpowered e bikes (& quasi-motorcycles) are dangerous & negatively impact safety and perception. theconversation.com/... #yyc #yyccc #yycbike

Important paper on how the built environment of cities increases or decreases physical activity — this has huge implications for health. Car centric environments are really the health equivalent of junk food www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The @ametsoc.org State of the Climate Report for 2024 is now published: doi.org/10.1175/2025... I am happy to have contributed again to this year's issue - see our section in 'The Arctic' chapter: doi.org/10.1175/BAMS... Another historic year for Earth's climate... 🚨

Crime is roughly half what it was in the 90s. Britain is still one of the safest countries in the developed world. So why does Reform want you to think London’s a hellscape? The Bear provides the answer ⤵️

Contributed a comment and talked through this piece a while back. Great to see it out. Important findings for England mirroring what we see in other countries and raising questions on vulnerability. I really like writing and helping contribute to work like this. #scicomm #scisky #heatwaves

Dear Britain, it’s now clear: 20mph zones save lives & don’t slow traffic. Implement them.— @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social. “Despite what detractors might claim, 20mph speed limits haven’t actually made journeys slower because journey times are largely dictated by junction delays, not vehicle speed.”
